OKB9 Cost Center at Header level

SAP Experts
In one of my sub contracting scenario I have assigned cost element in okb9 for multiple business area with the combination of valuation area, no profit centre is assigned. At the time of posting system is asking for co object assignment for the cost element of sub contracting which is assigned in okb9.
When I am assigning a dummy cost centre at header level of okb9, it works fine.
Please tell me the use of header cost centre in case of multiple cost centre assignment in okb9.
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
I hope you know for which material system returns error message i.e. co object assignment required.Go to material master and find that what kind of division they assigned in the material master, Then go to the transaction code OMJ7 find that division has been assigned to your valuation class, business are or not. If they are not assigned please maintain the division against the valuation area and do the process again. I hope your problem will be resolved please assigned the points.Be ensure okb9 settings are correct.

Maruthi.

Please guide..Thanks

Hi Thanks for putting your details.
Now we are exploring another option of Putting the Dept as Personnal Arae & the location as Sub Area.
Please guide me whether it will be in the right direction.
Dept- Software Dev- which has multiple locations across country-Pers.Area
Then under this Bhubaneswar,Mumbai,Delhi-SubArea.
Bhubaneswar- Sales,Distribution,Marketing.,HR.
Now all the depts will have cost centers assigned at SubOrg level but in that case will the Master cost center at the main organization level Software- Will it carry all the sub organization cost.
The HOD should be able to get the entrie cost of all the dept under Software Dev.
Is there any report which will provide the costcenter-cost posted to it.
Organization starcture wie

Location-Subarea
SoftwareDev-Head Org Unit under the group compcode

VA01: cost center on item level

Hello,
we know how to work with cost center & order reaso on sales order header.
Is there any way on entering the cost center for each sales order line separately manually?

Nico

Under the account assignment tab you have the costing sheet field and I think that's the closest you can get to the cost center in a Sales Order; the nature of a sales order is to create profit that's why my guess is you wont be able to change at Item level the cost center in a Sales Order. But I might be wrong. If anyone has experience sort kind of requirement, please advice.

SD order with cost center on header still creates CO-PA document in VF02

Hi guys,
we have 2 cases in SD, where we want not postings in CO-PA (for samples to customers):
1. on SD order item level with internal order account assignment
2. on SD header level with a proper order reason which allows cost center assignment on headers (OVF3)
1. is working
2. is not working
here the details:
1. order with e.g. 2 items created, one has a special item category with internl order account assignment. Goods delivery is posting with MM account determination VAY (so with cost element) and goods issue is correct on internal order.
This item is not creating a CO-PA document, which is correct and wanted.
2. special order type in SD for samples, where a order reason allows cost center assignment on header level (cost centers on SD item level is not possible obviously). Both cases use the same billing type, and same item category. In cost center case, also goods issue is posted correctly with VAY cost element to cost center of SD order, but:
creates a CO-PA document without values, but qty, which is not wanted.
I could reset the qty with a special billing type in KE4W, but I still want to make sure somehow, that never a CO-PA document is created and I also would like to understand, why those 2 cases behave differently.
Any idea? Please no proposal with user-exit - in this case I would own billing type prefer.

Hi
I would prefer KE4W as the solution... I had a similar situation earlier where in I used exit COPA0005 because I had no other choice... But because you are managing with separate bill type, KE4W is the option

Profit Center at header level in sales order

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to have profit center entered at header level in a sales order. If yes then where.
Regards,
Wasim.

No, profit center is always assigned at item level.
One of the reason could be, items in a sales order can have different profit centers, hence assigning at header level will impact all the items.

Display cost center field under item level when creating sales order

Hi dear experts,
during the sales order creation(tcode VA01), is it possible to display the cost center field in the tab account assignment under item level??
currently we are using ECC6,in the tab account assignment, the cost center field was actually already defined in the screen by the system...i used to try to 'activate' the cost center field VBAP-KOSTL in the user exit MV45AFZZ, but the cost center still not shown.
I know that there is a config to the sales doc type can be used to open the cost center at header level, how about item level?
thanks and best rgds

Hi,
The Cost Center Determination settings is in OVF3 - but there are some cases where the Cost Center must be exceptionally changed.
If the document category for order type in IMG VOV8 is defined to be "I" which belong to order type FD - Deliv.Free of Charge, then the field cost center is active for input during transaction VA01.
Alternatively, you can specify an order reason and assign a cost center to an order reason.
However the standard SAP works only at the header level though, so it would not work if cost center is needed on the line item.
The cost center are assign for such business transactions as :
- Free deliveries
- Returns
- Deliveries of advertising materials
You can also make cost center allocation dependent on the order reason, for example:
Order reason: Damage in transit
Order reason: Free sample
Both the IMG settings are done in transaction OVF3, either with/without the order reason.

Siddharth.

Cost center by default in a sales order

Hi,
I would like to put a cost center by default in a sales order.
Because the users forget often to fill this field, that' s why I would like to complete this field automatically.
I have found a point of customizing with OVZ3 but I have no result.
Any body have an idea?
Thank you
Regards
Kari

Kindly use the Incompletnet procedure for making a filed mandatory. Without completion of this field the sales order can not be saved. Goto OVA2 and assign the value cost center at header level in incompletness process. Then go to VUA2 and assigne it to your sales order.
I think this will help you

Cost center in Sales Order/Credit memo request

Hi SAP Gurus,
There is a requirement from our client. They are processing Credit Memo from SD VF01 via Credit memo request. The want to assign Cost center in the line items which is greyed out at the time of processing in VF01.
I also verified in the Credit memo request in VA02 even there is no field available for to maintain Cost center in line item so that at the time of billing it can derive.
Please advice whether can we assign the Cost centers in Sales order/Credit memo request line items?.
Regards
NTH

Hi NTH,
In the standard system, the field cost center is only ready for input
if the sales document category is VBAK-VBTYP= I (that is, order without
charge). For all other order types, you can make it visible by entering
an order reason provided that the combination of the sales area and the
order reason has a cost center assigned in OVF3. To change this standard
behaviour, USEREXIT_COBL_SEND_HEADER can be used. There you can find a
short example on how to make a field visible and modificable in the
account assignment screen.
Moreover, please take into account that the account assignment to a cost
center is possible only at header level. So it is not possible to
insert the cost center at item level, you can only insert it at header
level.
The cost center determination takes place in
FV45KF0V_VBAK-KOSTL_ERMITTELN and is reading from table TVAUK.
This table can be maintained in transaction OVF3.
If you wants to be able to enter the cost center manually in the
account assignment screen (header level), you can use the user exit
FV45PF0C_COBL_SEND_PBO_VBAK (SAPMV45A) - there you can find a short ex
ample on how to make a field visible and modifiable in the account
assignment
I hope that this information is of assistance to you. Thanks!

Cost center valorization for free of charge item

During sales order entry I need to have some
- standard item that have to be invoiced to the customer
- free of charge items; these items have not to be invoiced and for them I need to value a specific cost center ( for the standard price stored in material master data).
I know there is a customizig setting I can use to manage the relationship between the order reason and the cost center but this value is valid at header level (VBAK-KOSTL) while I don't know how I can set different cost center at item level (VBAP-KOSTL).
Thank you in advance,
Alessandro

Hi,
in NewGL I am sure that its not possible as there is no accounting document created (which contains the PRCTR information as well) if the revenue is zero.
And I am pretty sure that its not possible too in old PCA (Ledger 8A).
CO-PA docs. can be created for free of charge items (otherwise the cost of these items are missing in costing-based CO-PA).

Assign Cost Center for Internal Consumption in Sales Order

Dear Experts,
I have a scenario is that Marketing Manager want to give a gift to his customer, the expense of this gift will be charged to Marketing Department. As the law, the invoice of this gift is required with the posting as below:
Dr Expense acc 5000 USD
Cr Revenue acc 5000 USD
(Assume that there is no tax)
I create a Sales Order with the Product is the Gift that will give to customer, and I also assign the Cost Center as Marketing Department. The problem is when I generate the billing document from this Sales Order, the system throw the error: Cost Center XYZ (Marketing Department) is not allowed posting revenue. This error happen because I don't want to post revenue to Cost Center, I want only Expense will be posted to Cost Center. But because I assigned Cost Center in header of Sales Order, system will post both revenue an expense to this CO object. Now what I want to do is post Expense to Cost Center, revenue to Profit Segment. Is it possible and what I need to do if it is possible?

This is done at Delivery or Delivery detail level.
So CANT we have freight costs at order header level???
Basically i have say 3 labels created for an order i need to generate freight for these 3 labels. Please not 3 labels DOES NOT correspond to 3 lines.
So can i create Freight lines for these 3 labels for that order header Id.
And also another question is for RETURN orders we wont have any deliveries then how are freight cost calculated

Employee Listing using a Cost Center Hierachy

Hi,
I have been requested by a user to provide an employee listing from the headcount infocube in SAP BW which lists employees by cost center using an existing cost center hierarchy, but not showing them at the cost center hierarchy node levels.
My existing attempts have all resulted in the employees names being repeated for each and every cost center node where they apply, including the parent node, and not just the cost centers that they relate to.
Is there any way that the employee characteristic can be restricted just to the cost centre level only in the hierarchy.
Thanks, Ian.

Hi
As per your issue
I think is not possible becasue while creating the cost center we are entering company code at cost center level
Apart from that if you post already any transaction data to the cost center you not change the comoany code at cost center level
So we connot use for multyple company codes. if you want yo can use profit center
I hope it will helps
